> LeCun framed AI as an infrastructure-level platform that will soon mediate "all of our interaction with the digital world with information more generally"

This doesn't read as revolutionary, it reads as accepting a premise without explaining how and why it will and must be the case.

Some of my favorite parts of the internet - wikis and forums and blogs - are special to me because there is no procedurally generated mediator between me and the information. I don't want a summary that was never intended by the author. I don't want the rough edges shaved off every blog until they all sound like they were written with an identical voice. Maybe some people would like that some of the time, but all?

Yes. Very precise way to put that.

It's the same way the algorithm telling us what to see when we just want to see the raw feed.

In all cases, we could and can have both.

As AI amplifies everyone’s output, you’ll need AI to amplify your input capacity—or you’ll fall behind.

I thought this line of argument ended with the fall of the iron wall. Just because you can put every citizen digging holes to increase gdp it doesnt mean you should

Slop out, slop in.

This is already the reality for a large portion of the population.

They(we) don't consume directly from the firehose of the internet, but from whatever "The Algorithm" has curated for them(us).

Ever since stumble upon.

I'm pretty sure they mean that AI will become the infrastructure you view the digital world though. Like, instead of using a browser, just tell the LLM what you want to go to and it will bring you there, or give you the link, or even just the info.
